Correct choices:
- a paraphrase of the main ideas in “A Modest Proposal”
- an explanation of the meaning and purpose of the satire
- some quotations that serve as evidence of Swift’s ideas
Why: A complete summary restates the essay’s main points in your own words, explains what Swift is actually satirizing and why, and can include brief quotations to support your summary claims. Details about Swift’s life or the writer’s personal opinion are background or analysis, not essential elements of an effective summary.
